Grand Teton National Park — Schwabacher’s Landing

by Marc 09/13/2017 | 2 IMAGES IN THE BLOGPOST | No Comments

After our first week in the Teton Valley west of the Teton Range, we switched over into the Grand Teton National Park (GTNP). We drove over the Teton Pass and went on to the Snake River at Schwabacher’s Landing. It was an amazing spot, even we had to wait that the clouds clear up. But after that the view to the Tetons with their mirroring in the Snake River was even more dramatic. We missed this cloudy weather the following days, but a clear sky was even better than the mist from the wildfires just a few weeks later!

Golden hour in Teton Valley

At the end of a wonderful and cloudy but most of the time clear days we had a fantastic golden hour. Due to the dry grazing land the gold was even more visible. Just a week later we had the same light as we drove on the highway through the great plains within the Grand Teton National Park. Sadly we couldn’t take any picture!

In the Teton Valley are so many properties that has grazing land for horses around there wooden houses. They are usually fenced with simple natural fences, as we have seen them again and again in the national parks.
And, of course, many Americans have a flag pole in the garden. I had to capture these typical features for Idaho and the USA in a few pictures.

Milky Way across Teton Valley

by Marc 08/31/2017 | 1 IMAGE IN THE BLOGPOST | 5 Comments

The last weeks we stayed in Idaho and Wyoming to visit the National Parks Grand Teton and Yellowstone. My first image of the journey shows the Milky Way across Teton Valley. The first time I saw the dark and starry nights in Teton Valley the wish came to take a picture of the Milky Way. In the first hours of the night the center of the Milky Way was visible. So I prepared my camera, put it on a tripod and went outside into the garden.

The center of the Milky Way should be visible close to the horizon. So I decided to arrange the trees of the near road into my composition. At first I was angry, that during my first exposure a car drove through my image. But after review of the images it was the best image — the illuminated trees give a good contrast to the night sky.
